Resolved Profile display does not follow User Field access

In the EasyProfile component (where all the user groups and fields are listed)

If user selects a custom access level then these fields will not be displayed regardless of what access is configured for this specific field.

Steps to reproduce:
1/ In Joomla User configuration create a new Viewing Access Level for Administrators only
2/ In EasyProfile user field configuration have a field or a group using this newly created access
3/ Log in on the frontend as an admin user
4/ Go to http://[website]/index.php/component/jsn/[username_to_display]

-> Field is not displayed in the profile. But since access has been set to admin and user logged in is admin it should be displayed


This creates security issues on my website where I would like only admin to access user profiles from the front end

A workaround for my use case would be to implement a new category in Easyprofile settings/Visibility Profiles: Site admins (in addition to Private, Public, Site members)

Yes, because the access setting, sets the availability of a field for a user with permission.
You can see an example at documentation (http://www.easy-profile.com/docs/29-fields-only-on-registration-terms-of-service.html).

A workaround for my use case would be to implement a new category in Easyprofile settings/Visibility Profiles: Site admins (in addition to Private, Public, Site members)

In the next release I want to implement in settings/Visibility Profiles the option to user custom access(see screenshot).
